      The Samsung education store very clearly states right on the front page that the pre-order bonus Galaxy Buds are not included with orders from them.

  • Koolbargain on 28/02/2019 - 17:45

    Pros of AU stock is the Australian warranty. Cons it's missing the hybrid Sim in some models, slower Snapdragon processor.

      You mean slower Exynos processor? The snapdragon is the superior version.

        Sorry yes the exynos is the slower one.

      • liptonite24 on 28/02/2019 - 22:53

        Slower but if you're looking to install custom ROMS in 2-3 years, Exynos is the way to go as the boot-loader is unlocked.

    • conservative on 28/02/2019 - 18:18

      ah shush. No one cares about the processor. They're all fast enough for what most people do with phones

      • Fiximol on 28/02/2019 - 18:41

        It matters because the exynos version is also inferior tech (8nm vs 7nm) with a worse gpu. These things affect the user experience tangibly in the form of battery life and heat even if the actual performance doesn't matter to you. The track record for exynos in the s9/s9+ was also problematic. All in all, there is good reason to not buy the phone simply because of the SoC

        • conservative on 28/02/2019 - 18:43

          So which one does the S10+ have? i.e. the model of the cPu

        • EssendonUser on 28/02/2019 - 19:42

          You linked to an old news published @3rd Aug 2018. Post the august 2018 software upgrade, exynos outperformed SD in terms of battery.. I personally got Exynos S9+ and easily get day and a half battery with moderate to high use. Post the Oreo, it has been even better and performance has been fluid…its my observation based on my device…

          • Fiximol on 28/02/2019 - 20:32

            @EssendonUser: That's good to hear. I am not saying the Exynos chip set totally sucks. I am just saying that it is likely the worse of the two variants. It appears their battery life fix came as a trade off with processor power so the device was effectively throttled to improve battery life; and that was when both devices were on the same sized die (10nm). This generation, the exynos has the less efficient die so it has even more grounds to make up. Maybe they optimised the software even better this time, I don't know, but I am still very wary at this moment.

            • EssendonUser on 28/02/2019 - 21:07

              @Fiximol: Hei thanks mate for sharing the news on how it was fixed.. really interesting.. But as a user, different people have different priorities.. it wouldn't bother me if opening an app take 1 second or 1.1 second..but would bother me is how nice the screen and the audio is.. when it comes to audio, SD cant beat Exynos due the cirrus logic dac.. I personally liked the audio of s9+ exynos better than highest audio rated LG G7 (which has quad DAC)…For me its a trade off between my fav things (which I value more) to the fractionally inferior processing power…

                @EssendonUser: I like having local warranty and Samsung Pay more than a fractionally better performing CPU that you will only notice in a benchmark.

          • OzFrugie on 28/02/2019 - 22:11

            @EssendonUser: do you have link for this where post upgrades Exynos is better than SD (last years' versions)?

        • fastnet on 01/03/2019 - 10:28

          Based on my experience with the Note 9, the Exynos version had a standby battery drain issue. Swapped over to a snapdragon version and it was far superior. The Exynos chip is definitely not slow in real life situations by any means but it's just not in the same level as a Snapdragon chip. Also bonus on the Note 9 Snapdragon version you get FM radio.

            @fastnet: I have no battery issue with my exynos note9. With normal usage throughout the day I get about 50% and light usage I get about 70% battery life by the end of the day.

            • fastnet on 01/03/2019 - 10:44

              @BlitzR: That's great that you haven't had any issues! So many variables with battery life (apps, signal strength, usage pattern etc) so it's hard to get an accurate measure. I just happen to get better battery life on the Snapdragon version with a similar app load and usage patterns.

      • [Deactivated] on 28/02/2019 - 18:45

        The main thing people are concerned about is the efficiency of the 7nm snapdragon processor compared to the exynos 8nm one.

    I guess this is currently the best deal in AU. However, these 'flagship' phones are way overpriced and being on the cusp of 5G I doubt the resale value will hold up as it has in the past.

    Having said that, if the 128gb were dual sim like they are everywhere else but AU. I would probably pull the trigger.

    • conservative on 28/02/2019 - 20:54

  • billy77 on 28/02/2019 - 20:40

    Considering the cost, it would be best to read up on the Exynos 9820 (which is what we are getting) and Snapdragon 855 models.
    According to Anandtech, Exynos version is consistently 15-20% slower than the Snapdragon version, making it significantly slower even the year old S9… making your new device effectively 2 generations old. And then comes the absence of dual-sim on the "lower" models… Why?

    • Dunska on 28/02/2019 - 21:10
      +2

      Yes, I would prefer the snapdragon. I know it's faster but how does the battery compare between the two?

      I was looking at kogan earlier and their 128gb stock is dual sim but doesn't state whether it's exynos or snapdragon. It's also about $100 more just for the phone and shipping cost of about $40. Approx $140 more in total.

      I'll just scrap this whole pre order thing and wait until they're out. At least I'll be able to handle it before forking out $1000+ for a phone I may or may not like.

        It's always been that way and will continue to be.

        Just import your SD or buy a different phone.

        It's not a question of why are they giving us Exynos. The real question is, why are they giving the US Snapdragon? They don't want to, but Qualcomm has the patents on CDMA so in markets that require CDMA, they must use Snapdragon. If they had a choice, the whole world's Galaxy phones would be on Exynos since Samsung are the ones who make the chip.

          Samsung and sellers should at least make it clear at all times. 15-20% difference in performance is no longer a rounding error and in the age of the incremental updates, it could easily be a deal breaker.

          • lostn on 01/03/2019 - 13:03

            @billy77: They do make it clear.

            They've listed it in the specs that it's Exynos for rest of world. China, LATAM and USA get Snapdragon.

            The specs released on Samsung Australia site says Exynos.

  • Jklaro on 28/02/2019 - 20:53

      If you plan to buy the Buds separately, this deal is unlikely to be cheaper in the long run than if you use Cashrewards with Amazon, although upfront cost will be slightly more with Amazon. If you don't care about the Buds or if you can get them at a decent discount, this deal might be better.

  • neonlight on 28/02/2019 - 22:25

    Any reason why we always get the crappy exynos version not sd. I'm sick of this kind of allocation. I hate Samsung for that reason

    I've been a Samsung user since S2 up to S7E I gave up after prices gone astronomical and kept giving us the exynos version.

    IMO it's no longer value for money

    Get Motorola G7, Oneplus 6t,or even Huawei p20 pro

    • lostn on 28/02/2019 - 22:30

      Something to do with Qualcomm having exclusivity in certain markets due to patents, making it impossible to release Exynos models there. If Samsung had their way, it would be Exynos in every market. But they can't, so they only use it in markets where they can get away with it.

      • neonlight on 28/02/2019 - 22:34

        The thing is Exynos is their own chipset and cannot even go on par against Qualcomm SD or even Huawei Kirin. It would even be worser performance wise. I really don't get it.

        You would rather import a SD version won't you? With dual Sim and faster CPU and graphics I believe SD has Mali GPU

        It's no wonder their mobile revenue shrunk.

        They are gaming on S10 and S10 fold but competition is already here with Mate X

        • lostn on 28/02/2019 - 22:41
          +2

          Exynos is their own and if they use it they won't have to pay Qualcomm, so that's why we're getting it.

          I'd rather local stock than import. And that means I can use Samsung Pay. The S10+ I got will have dual sim included so no worries there.

          The difference in performance is going to be imperceptible to the eye. Only if you are measuring it in a benchmark are you going to see the difference.

    • lostn on 28/02/2019 - 22:45

      I have just read that the US market still requires CDMA which is not supported by Exynos, which is why the US and China gets Snapdragon and everywhere else gets Exynos. The rest of the world have moved on from CDMA and therefore do not require Snapdragon.

      "Qualcomm has the patents to manufacture and deploy CDMA technology in cellular modems and they use it exclusively on their snapdragon SOC's. Monopoly at work here so if someone wants to support CDMA not just in US but in most of the world, they have to install a snapdragon SOC's inside with a Gobi modem."

      (From Quora)

      It saves them money to use in house solutions than to pay someone else, since most of the world no longer uses CDMA.

      At the end of the day, they are a business, and the bean counters make most of the decisions.
